The other half of me

Verse 1
We were running through the backyard
Summer dirt on our shoes
Laughing like the world was ours
Before we knew bad news
Everybody says time heals
But some scars stay gold
Like a photograph still frozen
While the rest of us grow old

Pre-Chorus
And I still turn around sometimes
Like you’re right behind me

Chorus
‘Cause losing you was losing half of me
Half my heart, half my memories
And I learned way too young
How goodbye can cut so deep
Now every candle, every birthday flame
Still whispers your name
And I smile, but it ain’t the same
Since you took half of me

Verse 2
I still wonder who you’d grow into
What your voice would sound like now
Would you still laugh at stupid movies
Would you still make me laugh out loud
People talk about the future
Like it’s written in the stars
But sometimes life just steals the pages
And leaves you where you are

Pre-Chorus
And some nights I swear I hear you
In the silence of my room

Chorus
‘Cause losing you was losing half of me
Half my heart, half my memories
And I learned way too young
How goodbye can cut so deep
Now every candle, every birthday flame
Still whispers your name
And I smile, but it ain’t the same
Since you took half of me

Bridge
Maybe somewhere you’re still seven
Running wild without a care
And maybe love don’t really leave us
Maybe it just changes air

Final Chorus
‘Cause loving you will always be in me
Every step and everything I see
And though the world moved on
Part of mine still stayed behind
But I carry you through every year
In every laugh, in every tear
And somehow you’re still here
The missing half of me
